Business Section Wiped Out.

Clearfield, Pa., Sept. 7.—The business section of the small mining town of Ramey was literally wiped out by fire. Eleven houses were totally destroyed by the flames and the loss is estimated at $50,000. Several people had narrow escapes, but no lives were lost. The fire started in the hotel of Joseph Door and spread with remarkable speed.
